A BOUTIQUE IT ISN’T Vocational students have at their disposal a large number of options. There are ten areas for the students to work in. There is: Metal and Machines, Plumbing and Refrigeration, Woods, Graphic Arts, Electro-electronics, Foods, Health Assistants, Auto Body, Power Mechanics, and Small Appliance Repair. Wandering through the shops is an experience in itself. The students are involved in many dif- ferent activities. With the week in shop and the week in academics the students receive all the background needed to do an excellent job once they reach the workplace. 1.

Marcy DiStefano and Pam |onah comfort the pregnant? nun, Kristin O'Brien 4. Barbara Kovalski, Kim Pratt, Sonya Gruchy and Jacquiline Carlson show off. This seemed to be an M M year. Of course, we found other interesting individual costumes all over the school. Kelly Rogers appeared as a baby rabbit. Cathy LeBlanc BEARIy made it through the day, while Lisa Forde portrayed Minnie Mouse. Tracy Cullen and Kathy Kahale managed to clown around all day long. Lynn Crossman wore Jay Dennett's football uniform and was ready to throw some flying cross body blocks. Julie Coste came in wearing Dave Kraunelis' hockey uniform. In contrast to this outrageous behavior, Ms. Deborah DeCristofaro was the cutest little cheerleader, but not as cute as Ron DiBona as a member of the Colorguard. After school the activities were far from over. At 6:30 the Quincy Presidents met Weymouth North at the stadium. The Presidents were victorious with a score of 33-12. Children under the age of ten were allowed in- to the game free if they came in costume. Prizes were awarded at half-time by the Football Parents Club near the concession stand. The night was cold and the number of costumed children dwindled quickly as they switched to warmer apparel. Parties which normally would have been planned were postponed to Saturday night because the SAT exams were scheduled for Saturday morning. Some students who didn't have to take the SAT exams attended parties in North Quincy and Weymouth Landing. On the whole, there were few pro- blems and nearly everyone had a good time. For the first time in quite a few years, there were no stories of tainted candy being handed out to children. There were few incidents of children being bothered F v older kids. It turned out to be a fun Halloween! WEEN Mcxy by Njncy Powm. photo» by Uuren Sundhrtg. Ki»l Joh -von ■ • ■ ■ 15

TYPICAL TECH TYPES To the many high school students who daily cross the bridge into the Voc-Tech to use the library or go to gym, there is a typical tech student. Fortunately, there is no such thing as a typical tech student. Everyone is unique in exactly the same way that the high school students are unique. The only thing that makes a tech student different is that he or she attends the Voca- tional Technical School and is learning a trade rather than preparing for college. That might sound like it is different, but it is far from the truth. Many of the tech people are more dedicated in their pursuits than the high school students who pretend to desire a college education yet put little or no effort into that objective. Voc-Tech students know they will have training in their chosen vocations, 1. Donna Gaulhier and Steve Grant have their own kneads?! 2. Kim Pratt wanders the corridors carrying her pass in a most unique way. 3. Kim Giligan, Pam Tivnan, and Dana Cavallaro say no evil, see no evil and hear no evil anywhere near the Voc-Tech. 4. Karen Mitchell must have had a rough night. 5. Joe McMahon, |oe Reardon and Jim Canney are about to be sentenced to two weeks hard labor in the auto body tool cage.
